Short summary
We analyzed ten years of satellite data to study ice particle numbers in cirrus clouds over the Tibetan Plateau. The north has fewer particles than the south due to weaker convection and differences in dust and smoke. Ice particles form through freezing, producing a ‘V’ shaped profile, but weak upward winds in the north shift this peak lower. These findings help understand climate characteristics in the Plateau regions.

This study investigates how well operational models simulate the diurnal cycle of summer rainfall over China. Comparing three reanalyses shows all capture nocturnal precipitation peak but differ in afternoon rainfall timing: JRA‑55 and MERRA‑2 match observations better, while ERA5 exhibits a 3-hour phase advance. These differences are linked to how large-scale forcing is use in convection parameterization, underscoring the critical role of trigger on cumulus convection.

This work studies the dynamical linkages, local wave parameters, and subseasonal predictability of three successive blocking events that are associated with continual extreme events during May–June 2023. These blocks are interconnected via downstream Rossby wave energy dispersion and are dominated by the regime of slowly propagating, large-amplitude planetary-scale waves. Predictability beyond two weeks depends on capturing upstream quasi-stationary troughs and the associated energy dispersion.

Solar power plants are expanding rapidly worldwide, but their impacts on local climate remain uncertain. In this study, we developed a coupled model that explicitly represents interactions between solar panels, land surface, and the atmosphere. Evaluation against satellite observations showed improved simulation of land surface temperature over solar farms. Simulations show that solar farms can cool the land surface, warm near-surface air, reduce incoming sunlight, and alter rainfall patterns.

The wind speed needed to lift dust from surfaces governs the highest uncertainty in emission models, making it the root cause of dust forecasting errors. We developed iDust-ut, a global threshold dataset by fusing ground observations, satellite data, and reanalysis products. Tests with the iDust model show doubled severe dust storm prediction accuracy. The dataset works directly in any model with built-in adaptation for wind biases, substantially improving operational dust forecasting worldwide.

Observational records show that the Asian monsoon underwent substantial changes during the early 20th century, including a wetting trend over South Asia and a southward shift in rainfall over East Asia. We show that increasing European sulphate aerosol emissions played a crucial role in shaping the monsoon rainfall trends. This has important implications for reducing uncertainties in monsoon projections, particularly in light of the diverse future aerosol emission scenarios for the region.

We give an overview of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics–Chinese Academy of Sciences subseasonal-to-seasonal ensemble forecasting system and Madden–Julian Oscillation forecast evaluation of the system. Compared to other S2S models, the IAP-CAS model has its benefits but also biases, i.e., underdispersive ensemble, overestimated amplitude, and faster propagation speed when forecasting MJO. We provide a reason for these biases and prospects for further improvement of this system in the future.

Short summary
This study advances our understanding of the representation of the diurnal cycle of precipitation (DCP) in numerical models. By systematically comparing three convection schemes with different trigger and closure treatments using a single-column model, this study identifies the physical mechanisms responsible for these biases and evaluates the effectiveness of various modifications in improving DCP simulations over China.
